Who we are
At Rope & Rotor, we don't just provide data — we provide reliability. We combine over 30 years of hands-on industrial inspection experience with cutting-edge digital infrastructure. We understand that in the energy and construction sectors, data is only valuable if it is accurate, accessible, and actionable. We bridge the gap between complex site environments and digital asset management.
James Gunter | Technical Lead & Aerial Strategy
Specialization: Digital Infrastructure, Drone Operations, Spatial Mapping
James drives the technical innovation at Rope & Rotor. He bridges the gap between field reality and digital models, specializing in high-precision photogrammetry and Gaussian Splats. By leveraging cutting-edge software and hardware, James ensures every data capture is optimized for digital twin integration. He is the architect behind the digital pipeline, ensuring that the raw data we collect is processed into clean, scalable, and highly accurate interactive assets.
Mike Burton | Quality Assurance & Inspection Lead
Specialization: Asset Integrity, Defect Identification, Technical Reporting
Mike brings over 15 years of Level 3 rope access experience to our digital workflow, providing the critical "human eye" that software cannot replicate. As our lead inspection specialist, Mike is responsible for the integrity of our deliverables. He expertly manages our digital twins, meticulously reviews, validates and annotates every model to ensure that structural defects, wear, and anomalies are identified with precision. If it’s on the model, Mike has analyzed it.
We can operate as an extension of your integrity team, not just a service provider. By integrating high-level rope access expertise with advanced data capture, we provide a closed-loop inspection service that eliminates data gaps and reduces on-site risk.
Based in Sheffield and deploying nationwide, we support both onshore and offshore operations with high-precision visual inspections and detailed structural reporting. We turn complex site environments into clear, actionable data, ensuring you have the evidence required for informed asset management.
